DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 45

[Matilde08]

💗🤞🏻💐

hi my scan date is 12/02 still heard nothing I rang this morning they said I should hear by the end of the week I don’t no if I feel worse for knowing I’ll have a outcome within this week 🤦🏼‍♀️ goodluck to everyone waiting

Congratulations 🎉

Whats your sons scan date and what evidence did you send if u dont mind me asking xx

I’m 19/03 judging by recent award dates we should be this time next month 🙏🏼

Anyone know how long for payment from decision been made 🤔

Yep, me too, same scan date. Is the return address on the back of your envelope Belfast? That totally threw me as I obviously sent the form to Wolverhampton. I nearly chucked the letter, thinking it was Junk mail! 😂😂

Congratulations 🙌 payment should be in your bank Thursday / Friday

my son scan date for the renewl was 17th march so they told me a 12 week wait for renewals and for the smi i had a full peadratics report his fully autism diagnosis and a report from special school on how he has no danger awareness and a questionaire filled in by my drs

hiya wondering if anyone can help me , I applied for DLA for my daughter on the 12/02/24 and they received the form 26/02/24 I got 2 letters and I got a txt message on the 3rd of June (15 weeks) to say they still looking at the form , could anyone please tell me how long I could be waiting to get a decision? I’m currently on 16 weeks from the 26/02/24 but 18 weeks since I called DWP 😫 my patients is running low now 😂😂

I think once you get text it isn’t long have you called them for an update I’ve seen a few awards from around 16-20/02 today I’m guessing this or next week is your week! 🙏🏼

Thank you for that ☺️

yes I called them 2 weeks ago b4 they sent me a text message last week at 15 week point to say they still looking at the form . So fingers crossed I hear back this week 🤞🏼

Hey, your 15weeks today since scan date, claims seem to be being awarded about 16 weeks so you should hear something around next Monday

Missbeck yes it was Belfast!! I was also confused!

@Shezale hello, where did you get the questionnaire from that the gp filled in? X what questions were there x a few people on this thread will benefit from that info as a few on here trying to claim hrm x

@Shezale how old is your son and what award length did you get for smi x

This literally could have been written about my son, bar the diagnosis. I would send this and then send the report from appointment when you get it xx

Congrats to all the awards today 🙌🙌

below is a questionaire i made myself for my son for smi rules which his school filled in and gp i also wrote a separate letter detailing his SMI

My daughter would meet all those questions, I think I’ve sent enough in from myself and preschool stating all those things but I do wonder if they will award HRM one because she’s 3 and two because it seems a lot of people have to do a MR to be able to get it

@Crazyhouse4 the criteria is from aged 3 so you mustn't worry else why have 3 as the minimum requirement x They can't backtrack their own criteria else they look silly x lol

@Shezale thank you for this x I sent something similar but it was questions directly from the smi criteria and an NHS professional filled in mine I'm hoping it counts x

my son is 5 in november the most important thing i found with smi is actually having a diagnosis for adhd or autism thats what the main thing is along with smi rules

Is the form for mobility a different form 🤔 I've got hrc but wasn't aware he will be entitled to mobility part.. he's up for renewal September he will be 6, sorry if I sound a bit thick I didn't even no about dla till 2 year ago when I was told to apply by his teacher, but reading all these posts past few weeks it seems he will also qualifie for it 🫣

Oh that sounds stressful, its mad how long these wait times are for a decision. Hopefully we hear something soon and my fingers are crossed for you that you hopefully get both awarded 🤞🏻

Congratulations 🎊 it must be such a relief. Also we're scan buddies! I haven't heard any thing yet so hopefully I should shortly. Hope you got the band you need! It's exhausting waiting, calling, queuing, fighting.
